What is recorded here

An Baile Mór on Slieve League holds a small circular hut beside twenty-six penitential cairns, its lower drystone courses still marking a space narrow enough for one person to sit, breathe and face the western valley. It is not a grand chamber, but a mountain-room where solitude was made visible. To stand there is to join a long line of people who climbed high, reduced life to a few stones and left the wider world below.

Situated on the summit of Slieve League near the W edge of the mountain ridge overlooking the valley below. One of three hut sites (DG090-004009/011-) which is situated amongst 26 penitential cairns (DG090-004012-) all of which are approximately 60m W of Hugh Mac Brick's Church (DG090-004001-). Only the lower courses of the drystone wall of a roughly circular shaped hut site (int. dims. 1.15 x 1.6m) survives with possible doorway now facing W.
